From 2.7 to 2.71SE-B" ????

[hart91]

:confused: Okay so i've been sold on the 2.71SE-B" firmware but I currently have 2.7 running

So my question is how do i get from 2.7 to 2.71SE-B" ?? what is the best path to take and what do I need to get there:confused:

I assume I will have to go....

2.7 > 2.71 > 1.5 > 2.71SE-B"

(I am fairly sure I don't have a TA-082)

I would very much appreciate the help, thanks.

[Kramer]

Thanks kramer, no tell tale text on my motherboard so should be no problem!!...can't wait for the benefits of 2.71SE-B"!!!!!

can't do right now but will let you know how it goes as soon as I have tried...thanks again!!

[Kramer]

yep no problem dude.

[hart91]

ah?....does it matter if I use the US 2.71 update?, my PSP was purchased here in UK, probably doesn't matter but thought i'd better check??? thanks in advance..

[Kramer]

nope doesnt matter.

[hart91]

so,

1) I update to 2.71 (done!),

2) I install 'HEN C' (not yet done) once succesful I..

3) use the 1.5 update, and then finally I need the..

4) 2.71SE-B" update and apply like any other firmware, correct??

I am just bieng cautious and making sure I get this right so I don't end up with a bricked psp, you understand....

[Kramer]

yeah install henc then run the generic downgrader
then once your downgraded download this
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/854
read the readme and find out how to install it (it's not hard at all) then once you've installed it run this once http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/885

[hart91]

OKAY, HEN C done, no prob

now it says the bundle includes 1.5 firmware to dowgrade to, sure enough there is an UPDATE.PBP there, when accessed from the XMB it says update ver x.yz?? is that right, is it the 1.5 update?? gotta be sure ya know...thanks in advance!

[Kramer]

just wait ive never used it so ill have a look at it for ya.

EDIT: yeah your good to go.

[hart91]

Thanks....here goes!!!! (gulp!)

YES....sigh of relief...not a single hitch...so far so good!!!


1.7>1.71>1.5...nearly there!!!

[hart91]

The DXAR maker seems to be taking a long time to finish?
it checked 1.5>extracted & packed
it checked 2.71>extracted & packed

screen went black......memstick light flashing though does pause every now & then....not panicking yet but is this right?? a good 5 minutes so far....


(okay.....done now....ignore above)

now onto the risky part again!

[potatoman]

good luck!
im too scared to try this on my 2nd psp, tried it on the 1st one, pushed off switch by accident :(
im on reverse devhook now :)

[hart91]

right, done it.....I'm now on 2.71SE-B but I can't get the update patch for SE-B" to run....when I go to Game on the XMB it just freezes????? not sure what is going on with that can anyone help

Many thanks to kramer for all his help so far!!!

[Kramer]

Many thanks to kramer for all his help so far!!!

No probs dude.

theres a bug in the first release of SE-B that freezes the game menu if you dont have a folder in the root of your memory stick called ISO. So create that folder and you will be good to update and once you've updated the bug will be gone.

[hart91]

well, after much downloading, flashing (sweating) and valuable help from kramer...(many thanks dude!) I am now the proud owner of a psp with 2.71SE-B" firmware :D , and let me you, for those of you trying to make up your minds.....this firmware ROCKS!!! :cool: , and with VCS(UMD) arriving tomorrow, times ahead are looking really SWEET!

GO ON!! you know you want to, Dark Alex and many other talented people have done the hard work so you don't have to!!!!!:D

[potatoman]

can i ask, whats the point of the " at the end, does it do anything extra or what?
i mean does 2.71 se-b differ from 2.71 se-b"

[hart91]

yes, it does differ starting with SE-A and then SE-B(1) revised versions SE-B'(2) & SE-B"(3). there are some key fixes in the revised versions, the thing I was after was being able to play GTA VCS from the original UMD without having to (a)dump an image file or (b) update my firmware beyond homebrew enabled limits.
